I'm Daniel Livingston. I am an optician, and I love eyewear. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Has an article reviewing ten of the most well-known sites for buying glasses online.

the Optician: January 2013

http://www.daniellivingston.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

I'm Daniel Livingston. I am an optician, and I love eyewear. Thursday, January 3, 2013. I had the opportunity to make some cool antique spectacles: rimless turn-of-the-century pince-nez. They were a lot of fun and work with the custom mounting I did. The customer is a fan of vintage and antiques, and plans to use the pince-nez pairs as "hat and tails" attire. Teddy Roosevelt was an iconic pince-nez wearer. Morpheus revived the coolness of the style. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keep up with me on Facebook!

Went to Vision Expo in Las Vegas last week, one of the two largest optical industry conventions in the U.S. (the other is Vision Expo East in New York).
